Social connections and intellectual activity

A number of studies indicate that maintaining strong social connections and keeping mentally active as we age might lower the risk of cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s. Experts are not certain about the reason for this association. It may be due to direct mechanisms through which social and mental stimulation strengthen connections between nerve cells in the brain.

But Thanksgiving just wouldn’t be complete without that turkey (sorry, turkey alternatives). And while there are plenty of recipes and cooking methods that might make you think otherwise (deep frying, we’re looking at you), turkey is actually pretty powerful in the nutrition department.

ProteinOn average, women should aim for 46 grams of protein a day and men should shoot for 56. With 25 grams of the stuff in a three-ounce serving of turkey, you’ll be well on your way — and for fewer calories and less fat than the same size serving of beef. Keep in mind, however, that most Americans have no trouble meeting these protein allowances. Yes, we need protein to build and repair cells, keep snacking urges curbed and lower stroke risk, but it is possible to get too much.

It is not a secret that Americans overeat on Thanksgiving. We typically consume more calories during this one meal than we ingest in an entire regular day. According to the Calorie Control Center, Americans eat anywhere from 3,000 to 4,500 calories at this annual feast. That’s equivalent to about seven Big Macs. It would take more than 20 hours of bowling to burn all of that off. Or, if bowling isn’t your game, you could spend nearly eight hours shooting hoops (maybe instead of playing “Horse,” you’d play “Turkey” for festivity’s sake) before you broke even.

Of course, you can’t out-exercise an unhealthy diet, and we don’t recommend spending time post-Thanksgiving un-doing your delicious meal. We say, enjoy the day, the food and the company — and then get back to your normal routine.

Learning is not just for children, we are always learning. It is essential to being alive.

Ask any new mother if they can tell what their baby is learning everyday, it is amazing how they learn about their world, their family, their body.

To stay young as we age it is recommended that we learn new skills, hobbies, languages and more. Our brains crave new information, color, sound, and stories throughout our lives.

Here is a very modern appropriate quote about how we learn. I do love Benjamin Franklin.

When I was in Grad School for Educational Psychology, I loved exploring different ways to help students of all ages learn. I was a specialist in the “Special Ed” area, so creativity was essential to reach each student’s potential.

I am not an economist, and I cannot attempt to explain how we got here. I don’t know the answer for the whole country, I just know that people need help.

I wrote a version of this article before the Affordable Care Act when into effect. I didn’t think that I would need to share the information again. However, many states have NOT accepted the Expanded Medicaid program that the ACA had in place to take care of the “Working Poor”. Only about half of the states have accepted the money from the Federal government to implement this program.

That means that millions of people have fallen into the “crack” – they don’t qualify for the programs that Obamacare provides for “everyone”, and they don’t qualify for the established Medicaid progams because they do earn some money, or have some assets.

The activists have been pushing to raise the minimum wage to get working people out of this predicament.

Most lower middle class and middle class families are struggling. Prices keep going higher, and people’s jobs are not secure. Education and experience are no longer a guarantee of a new job at a similar pay rate.

Even professional people with a history of strong income and big houses are showing up for food banks and need help because they have not been able to replace their lost jobs.
